Mushrooms in Action!

Is healthy eating really that important? Do we need to exercise? And what about friends? Can they truly help us overcome any obstacle? Inspired by these questions, Kyriakides Mushrooms together with ANIMAGNET have created a unique puppet theater performance starring our very own mushroom heroes.

Through young White’s adventures, audiences of all ages will embark on a journey filled with songs, games and lots of laughter. With the support of a talented team of performers, the show highlights the value of healthy eating, regular exercise and the power of teamwork.

“White and the Olympic Mushroom Games” is an engaging and educational puppet play designed for the whole family. It serves as a heartwarming reminder that with determination, team spirit, and the support of good friends, there are no limits to what we can achieve.

Once Upon a Time…

In the enchanting world of Mushroomville, White is a carefree mushroom who absolutely loves… doing nothing! He neither pays attention to his diet nor exercises with his friends. In fact, he prefers to spend his free time in his room playing video games.
But when the day of the Mushroomville Games approaches, White decides he wants to participate. Yet, can someone hope to win the games without training or effort? Of course not!
With the support of his kind friend Shiitake, the wise doctor Lion’s Mane, the easygoing Portobellini and the experienced Mr. Portobello, young White begins to understand the value of healthy eating and regular exercise. He trains with determination and passion, setting his sights on his next great challenge: the Olympic Mushroom Games!
Will White finally achieve his dream and earn the coveted medal this time?

White

White doesn’t enjoy exercise.
He spends his free time in his room playing video games, while carefully hiding a box full of chocolates and snacks under his bed. Confident in his abilities, he decides to join the big Olympic Mushroom Games. But soon, he realizes that reaching the top is no easy feat without fruits, vegetables and regular exercise.

Determined not to finish last, White turns to his beloved friends for help. Together, they train, they learn which foods make you healthier and give their best effort for the upcoming Olympic Mushroom Games.

Mr. Portobello

Mr. Portobello is not only a talented discus thrower but also the owner of the best restaurant in Mushroomville. He’s the go-to mushroom when you’re craving something delicious and nutritious. He always carries his favorite broccoli, cauliflower and spinach wherever he goes.
At his restaurant, Mr. Portobello serves exclusively plant-based, healthy dishes known for their nutritional benefits for the body and mind.
Mr. Portobello is committed to helping White understand the importance of healthy eating through a diet rich in vegetables. By preparing the healthiest and most delicious training menu, Mr. Portobello hopes to help White gain the energy he needs for the Olympic Mushroom Games!

He knows all the names of the winds and every hidden bolt on his sailboat. Full of positive energy, Portobellini always has the perfect words to motivate his friends and help them believe in themselves.

Shiitake

Smart and energetic, Shiitake is White’s best friend. Unlike her friend, Shiitake goes to bed early, spends hours playing and running and loves living a healthy lifestyle. It’s no surprise that she always excels in the obstacle course! Her favorite fruit is the orange and her biggest wish is to compete in the Olympic Mushroom Games alongside her best friend, White.
Winning is not the primary goal for Shiitake. Rather she emphasizes the importance of friendship, cooperation and fairplay.

Lion’s Mane

Lion’s Mane is the wise and caring doctor of Mushroomville. He always has the right advice for anything you might need and knows how to give you the energy to achieve your goals.
He holds a special fondness for White and is committed to helping him achieve his dream of winning a medal in the Olympic Mushroom Games.
